Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ PPC Leader Maxime Bernier lays out his vision for Canada ahead of April's election

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. We've invited all of the federal party leaders to come on the show to be interviewed.

00:00:05.460 And the first to accept, and hopefully not the last, is Maxime Bernier of the People's Party of Canada.

00:00:10.900 He's our guest today, and also I'll show you some of the new ads made by 4Canada.ca.

00:00:16.680 And that's my point. If you're just listening to the audio version of this, you can't see the ads.

00:00:21.140 And let me tell you, they're a feast for the eyes.

00:00:23.300 So go to rebelnewsplus.com. That's the video version of these podcasts.

00:00:28.180 It's eight bucks a month, and I know that might not sound like a lot of dough to you, but boy, it sure adds up for us.

00:00:33.880 That's how we pay the bills, because we take no money from Trudeau, and it shows.

00:00:38.220 It's rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:43.920 Tonight, a feature interview with Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada.

00:00:48.700 It's March 28th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.

00:00:51.280 You party for freedom!

00:00:54.600 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:00:58.180 Well, we have extended invitations to all of the major party leaders for interviews,

00:01:11.540 and the first leader to accept our invitation is my old friend, Maxime Bernier.

00:01:15.880 He's the leader of the People's Party of Canada, and we have caught him mid-campaign.

00:01:20.540 He joins us from the road.

00:01:22.440 Maxime Bernier, what a pleasure to have you back on the show.

00:01:24.800 Nice to see you, and where are you right now?

00:01:26.620 I'm in Jean-Claude, Quebec, and, you know, I was visiting businesses here on the road.

00:01:37.280 I did a press conference, and it's going well.

00:01:40.220 We are speaking about radical decentralization to be sure that the federal government will respect provincial autonomy.

00:01:46.860 Now, tell me the state of the PPC party.

00:01:52.260 How many candidates have you nominated?

00:01:54.820 How many do you expect to run throughout the country?

00:01:58.800 Yeah, up to now, we have 310 candidates selected and approved, ready to run.

00:02:05.160 This week, my team is telling me that we may be near a full slate of candidates, so 343.

00:02:13.220 We still have six days.

00:02:16.180 You know, we're doing some interviews right now, so it's going well.

00:02:20.040 We may be there at 343.

00:02:22.740 But answering your question, now 310.

00:02:25.800 And how is fundraising going?

00:02:30.240 We have set up a, or I have set up, a third-party campaign group, and there seems to be a lot of interest in Canadians because it's such a tense political moment.

00:02:41.100 How is the People's Party doing?

00:02:43.700 Are you being met with enthusiasm?

00:02:45.860 And one of the measures is how many people show up at events, and one of the measures is how many people chip into your campaign fundraising.

00:02:54.380 Can you give me a report or an estimate on either of those?

00:03:00.360 Yes.

00:03:00.960 Actually, we didn't do big things right now.

00:03:04.000 We will be, I'll be in Ontario next week, and we will have our first rally over there.

00:03:08.500 So I will be able to let you know when that will happen.

00:03:11.220 But that being said about raising money, we were able to raise good money when the election started.

00:03:18.200 Our people understand that we need to have money because we want to be sure to spend the money that we are raising.

00:03:26.400 We don't have any, we don't want to have any deficit.

00:03:29.660 We want to be sure last year, not last year, sorry, at the last election, we were able to spend about $1.4 million.

00:03:36.800 I know that if you compare that with the Conservatives and the Liberals, they're spending $30 million.

00:03:43.720 This election, if we can spend $2 million during the campaign on advertising, that would be great.

00:03:50.100 And up to now, the fundraising is there.

00:03:52.440 Our people are there.

00:03:53.560 Our donors are very generous.

00:03:55.360 So I'm very happy.

00:03:56.980 And of course, these days, things can go viral for free.

00:04:01.840 So if you have a very enthusiastic and engaged membership, that really can give you an extra punch for the dollar.

00:04:10.980 That's how Donald Trump won in 2016, I think.

00:04:13.800 He didn't spend more money, but he had a very active base.

00:04:16.840 Now tell me, the last time we spoke, I asked you about the challenge of Pierre Paulyev being so far ahead.

00:04:22.540 And you and others in the PPC had suggested that given Paulyev was so far ahead, it gave some comfort to people to vote for the PPC with the idea that you're not going to jeopardize throwing the election to the Liberals.

00:04:38.280 And the PPC could hold the Conservatives to account from the right.

00:04:43.220 Right. What's your proposition to voters now that things are extremely close between the Conservatives and the Liberals?

00:04:52.500 And some of your PPC voters might say, I don't have the luxury of voting PPC because I need to ensure that Mark Carney doesn't slip through.

00:05:02.140 Make your case to that kind of a voter, someone who's affectionate towards the PPC, but says, look, I've got to vote strategically for Paulyev.

00:05:11.020 Yes, you're right about that.

00:05:13.980 You know, for Paulyev right now, it's not going so well.

00:05:17.940 The media are just speaking about Carney.

00:05:20.480 And we know that the media, the mainstream media, wants Carney to be the next prime minister.

00:05:27.020 That being said, that being said, you know, I understand why people may not be able to support Paulyev right now.

00:05:36.580 Because, you know, Paulyev is going to the left and, you know, his policies are a little bit like the Liberals.

00:05:44.980 So there's no big difference.

00:05:47.300 What I'm telling to people, yes, I don't know what will be the result of the election now.

00:05:52.140 It's very tight.

00:05:53.280 But we still have four weeks.

00:05:55.140 You still have time to decide.

00:05:56.640 But the most important for us, I hope that if they like our policies and we can have more support and more vote, we will be more influential.

00:06:06.200 And that will push the Conservatives and Paulyev is in government in the right direction.

00:06:13.660 So, you know, on the most important issues for Albertans, for example, you know, equalization.

00:06:20.140 I just did a press conference today here in Jean-Claire, and I said we need to reduce the equalization payments by half.

00:06:30.420 $30 billion that, you know, we can save instead of giving $26 billion.

00:06:37.060 That's something that is very important for Albertans.

00:06:40.420 The fact that Paulyev is not so high in the pools right now, I believe it's because he's not a real conservative.

00:06:47.140 And people are looking at him, you know, you're like the liberals, so I may vote liberals.

00:06:52.540 You're listening at Paris Accord on the equalization, on the war with U.S., the trade war.

00:06:58.700 So that's an on mass immigration.

00:07:00.900 I don't know, but I don't want to give any advice to Pierre Paulyev.

00:07:05.180 But be a real conservative, and maybe you'll have more support.

00:07:09.240 Well, I think if Paulyev or his team was here, they would say, hang on.

00:07:13.020 They have always been fiscally conservative.

00:07:17.160 They're talking about cultural things, too, like defunding the CBC is both.

00:07:22.000 It's saving a lot of money, and it's getting the government smaller, and it's pushing back the woke culture.

00:07:29.680 And I think that Pierre Paulyev has slowly started to talk about immigration.

00:07:34.220 A year ago, he didn't.

00:07:35.940 But now he talks about reducing the numbers, not to zero, but reducing them greatly from what Trudeau has done.

00:07:42.980 So when you say that he's moving to the left, what are you referring to in particular?

00:07:47.140 Yeah, you know, Annette telling us, he said yesterday that he will save for Canadians $14 billion in tax cut.

00:07:57.300 And we don't know where he will take that money.

00:07:59.720 We don't have any ideas which cuts he will do.

00:08:04.200 Today, I just announced that you can balance the budget in one year.

00:08:08.460 You can save $60 billion.

00:08:10.060 He said that he will cut foreign aid.

00:08:13.720 But, you know, is it the full amount, $10 billion?

00:08:16.900 For us, it's $10 billion.

00:08:19.140 He said that he will cut corporate welfare.

00:08:23.160 Is it the real amount of subsidies to businesses?

00:08:27.140 It's $25 billion.

00:08:29.180 We will cut $25 billion.

00:08:31.480 So he's speaking like a liberal.

00:08:33.520 He's afraid to put numbers to be sure that he will be able to balance the budget.

00:08:38.500 We can do that.

00:08:39.520 We can't balance the budget in one year.

00:08:42.200 And if you're serious about it, you know, just say the truth to Canadians. 0.62

00:08:46.460 But right now, both the Liberals and the Conservatives will finance their tax cut with a bigger deficit.

00:08:54.600 And when you have a deficit, we know that it is the taxes of today or the inflations of tomorrow.

00:09:01.760 Now, you've run in several elections, and the party has not broken through in any one district.

00:09:06.720 I mean, you get a certain number of votes, but it's spread out in our first-past-the-post system.

00:09:11.800 I personally really regret that you were not allowed to participate in the leaders' debate in 2021 because you were the only party leader at the time that had a contrary view to the lockdowns and the no-fly list and the mandate for vaccines.

00:09:29.800 And I think the country would have benefited tremendously from hearing the other point of view.

00:09:34.660 I think there was collusion amongst all five parties to keep you out.

00:09:38.800 Now, I see this year that the leaders' debates plans to have the tiny Green Party participating, plus the – I'll call them more major parties.

00:09:49.560 And it looks like, and correct me if I'm wrong, you will be kept out again.

00:09:54.740 Can you, first of all, confirm for me, are the current rules such that you will be not allowed to participate?

00:10:01.460 And here's, to me, the more important question is, what are you going to do about it?

00:10:06.220 We're probably going to be kept out.

00:10:08.280 Rebel News, twice in 2019 and 2021, we were kept out.

00:10:13.020 But we sued, we went to federal court, and on the last day we got ordered, accredited.

00:10:20.180 So Trudeau tried to block us, but twice the federal court let us in.

00:10:24.640 Have you been blocked?

00:10:26.400 And if so, will you sue?

00:10:29.540 We are not supposed to be blocked from participating to these debates because the decision – the leaders' debates commissions told us that the decision will be next week.

00:10:42.200 But as you know, CBC and Radio Canada are the producers of these debates.

00:10:49.920 And Radio Canada in French just said two days ago that I won't participate in the national debates.

00:10:56.500 So what I'm telling you, Ezra, the process is a fake process just to be sure that it will exclude the People's Party.

00:11:03.980 They had the two conditions, and, you know, at every election, they are coming with new conditions to be sure that we won't participate.

00:11:13.780 Now they said we need to have 310 candidates.

00:11:16.700 That's done.

00:11:17.400 We'll have more than that.

00:11:18.800 But there's a survey, you know, 4%, 28 days before the election.

00:11:24.080 It's crazy.

00:11:25.080 What we will do – yes, I'm speaking with our lawyers.

00:11:28.700 We'll see what we can do.

00:11:30.500 But at the end, it's a censorship.

00:11:34.600 And so we – like you said, the Green Party of Canada had 2% of the vote at the last election because of their vote is concentrated in BC on the island of Vancouver.

00:11:47.160 And our vote, it's all across the country.

00:11:49.740 You know, we are a real national party.

00:11:51.780 We are at 5%, but now the Green Party will be there.

00:11:55.980 And actually, the mainstream media also is pushing and giving visibility to the Green Party and not to us.

00:12:04.180 So that being said, they said that we need to have 4% in the polls 28 days before the debate.

00:12:11.020 But if you look at the polls that are out there, the public polls, we are not there.

00:12:16.620 They don't put our name, People's Party of Canada.

00:12:19.820 So, for me, you know, that commission – I know that at the head of that commission, on the board of that commission, there are former Liberals MPs and former Conservative MPs.

00:12:33.820 So that's not in their advantage to have us and to debate against the Liberals and the Conservatives.

00:12:40.060 They don't want to hear what we have to say.

00:12:42.820 I think they are afraid of our ideas.

00:12:45.260 The more coverage and the more visibility we'll have, I can tell you, Ezra, we will grow faster.

00:12:50.860 So now, what will be our position if they are saying officially no next week, we'll have to look at it.

00:12:58.560 But it's very disappointing.

00:13:01.240 I was counting on that commission to be neutral, and they are not.

00:13:05.320 We will do a campaign.

00:13:07.040 We will be active.

00:13:08.360 Actually, you know, every day at 1 o'clock Eastern Time, we're doing a press conference, answering questions with journalists.

00:13:14.920 But, you know, they won't put that on newspaper or on TV.

00:13:19.840 For them, it's like we don't exist.

00:13:21.880 But we are.

00:13:22.660 You know, we created that party six years ago.

00:13:25.460 We are growing.

00:13:26.580 I can tell you, I can feel a momentum on the ground.

00:13:30.240 So we'll see what will happen.

00:13:32.260 I hope.

00:13:33.080 I hope that maybe we'll be able to participate.

00:13:36.500 If not, we'll see what we can do.

00:13:39.320 We'll see what will be our options.

00:13:41.320 Well, if a CBC reporter is already announcing that you're banned, it shows that it's a stitch-up.

00:13:48.560 It's an inside job.

00:13:49.700 It's a preordained conclusion.

00:13:52.520 And that would certainly be something that, if I were your lawyer, I would bring to the attention of the federal court.

00:13:58.060 I want to – I can't emphasize enough how critically important that is in my view.

00:14:02.960 And I know this is an interview where I'm asking you questions and you're giving me your point of view.

00:14:07.360 But if I can give you my advice, we were shut out twice.

00:14:11.840 We went to court twice.

00:14:13.720 We won twice.

00:14:15.380 And it made all the difference in the world.

00:14:17.760 And I can't think of any other occasion in this campaign that would give you a chance to have such a large forum to go toe-to-toe.

00:14:28.020 Like, there's no way that any other debate would allow you to come into contact with Mark Carney.

00:14:34.020 And so I think it's an essential act, if I may.

00:14:37.160 But listen, you're the leader of the party.

00:14:38.800 I'm just a pundit.

00:14:39.920 My advice is worth exactly what I'm charging you for it, which is free.

00:14:44.180 Let me ask you one last question while we – and I appreciate – I can see that you're on your way to an event, so I won't take up too much time.

00:14:50.660 Let me ask you one last question.

00:14:51.880 I think that a lot of freedom-oriented or conservative-oriented Canadians admire Donald Trump in a number of ways, that he fought the media, that he's for a stronger nationalism, that he's anti-woke.

00:15:05.820 There's a lot of reasons to like him.

00:15:07.920 But that's become very difficult over the last three months as he's taken pot shots at Canada, not just verbally, but putting tariffs on Canada, which will actually cost jobs.

00:15:17.580 And, you know, blood is thicker than water.

00:15:20.320 We do have a sense of nationhood, and it's, you know, it's a bit of an indecent proposal for some people to – it's a very challenging time for people who love Donald Trump as a symbol of freedom but are now being subject to his tariffs.

00:15:35.180 What would your advice be for the government?

00:15:38.900 I mean, Pierre Polyev is trying, I don't think, to be as bitter towards Trump as the liberals, but he's critical of Trump.

00:15:46.820 What would you say, if you had Donald Trump's attention, what would you say in response to his tariffs?

00:15:55.320 I'll tell him, you know, what you're doing, Mr. President, it is hurting your consumers and your businesses.

00:16:02.380 I know that you want to have a new deal with Canada, and I know that you don't want to wait until 2026 for that new deal.

00:16:09.540 I can tell you that we will be ready for you, with you, to sit at the table and have a deal right now by putting everything on the table, including what you don't like, Mr. President, the supply management, the cartel in dairy, milk, and poultry.

00:16:28.180 I'm the only leader, Mr. President, that will put that on the table.

00:16:32.800 Polyev and Carnet won't, and if they don't do that, we won't be able to have a deal with President Trump.

00:16:39.680 Let's do it.

00:16:40.640 Let's put the automobile industry in Ontario on the table, the dairy cartel on the table, and also, Mr. President, you said that you want reciprocal tariffs.

00:16:50.380 I'm okay with that.

00:16:52.200 If we impose zero tariffs, you may do the same.

00:16:56.100 You will do the same.

00:16:57.560 So be on the table.

00:16:59.440 No, you know, counter tariffs like, you know, we did dollar for dollar.

00:17:04.400 It is hurting our own economy more than the U.S.

00:17:08.460 Trump and Carnet are saying, we love you so much, Canadians.

00:17:12.040 We want to defend our sovereignty against Trump, and so we are ready to tax you more with 25% tariffs.

00:17:20.740 It's crazy.

00:17:21.960 Canadians are paying for that.

00:17:23.860 We must not participate in that trade war and put everything on the table to have a deal.

00:17:29.680 That's the only, the only thing that we must do, but also to add, to have a better and more productive economy.

00:17:36.860 You know, balancing our budget in one year, having a zero inflation target with the Bank of Canada, and after that, lowering the second year, lowering taxes for everybody, cutting the corporate tax, not the corporate tax, sorry, the capital gains tax, a flat tax on corporation, real tax cut.

00:17:56.860 Because if you do that, when you have a surplus, that's cut that, you know, people will be able, that will be for a long term because you won't have inflation with that because it will come from surplus.

00:18:10.860 So you need to do that and to work with provinces for having a real free trade.

00:18:15.440 And it's so important, and I will end with that.

00:18:18.000 It's so important to put supply management on the table because Carney and Polyev are saying, yeah, we did sign a lot of free trade agreements with other countries, and we must do that.

00:18:29.440 What they don't tell you is we were not able to have a free trade agreement with UK last year because of supply management.

00:18:37.960 We need to end that.

00:18:39.400 We need to put that on the table to be able to have a free trade with US and other countries.

00:18:44.760 So let's be serious about that.

00:18:46.640 Tell the truth to these dairy producers that will help Canada, that will help them, and that will help our Canadian consumers.

00:18:55.340 Maxime Bernier, great to catch up with you.

00:18:56.980 Thanks for fitting us in your busy campaign schedule.

00:18:59.580 Good luck.

00:19:01.000 Thank you, Ezra.

00:19:01.820 Have a nice day.

00:19:02.560 Thank you, you too.

00:19:03.200 There it is.

00:19:04.400 Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada, coming to us from his campaign trail.

00:19:11.580 Stay with us.

00:19:12.360 More ahead.

00:19:16.640 Hey, as you know, we've set up a third-party campaign group.

00:19:25.800 It's separate from Rebel News.

00:19:27.580 I'm the registrant.

00:19:28.840 It's a separate bank account, and we're doing it so we comply with election law.

00:19:33.200 I didn't want to do it, but I was compelled to do it.

00:19:35.820 The government basically said they would prosecute me if I didn't.

00:19:39.280 I think it's a violation of my freedom of speech, but I'm trying to make the most of it, and I've got to say, I'm having a bit of fun with it.

00:19:46.440 We're running some tough ads.

00:19:48.880 I mean, that's what a third-party group does.

00:19:50.640 That's what the government said we had to do.

00:19:52.940 All right.

00:19:53.660 All right.

00:19:54.280 I'll do it.

00:19:55.140 Let me close today by showing you some of our spicy ads.

00:19:59.600 Now, I've got some feedback that these are too spicy.

00:20:03.300 By the way, you're going to see these ads popping up not just on Rebel News, but at truenorthsjuno.com, or Juno News, and Counter Signal, and Western Standard, and there's a radio station.

00:20:19.180 We're going to have radio ads.

00:20:19.900 So you're going to see these ads popping up around other media in the country.

00:20:23.840 Anyways, let me show you the good stuff right now, and let me know, do you think these are too spicy, or do you think they're okay?

00:20:31.760 Let me show you some of our work right now.

00:20:34.540 Mark Carney, Trudeau's money man, globalist, China's pal.

00:20:41.100 Weeks in, he jets to Beijing, scores a $250 million loan from their state bank.

00:20:49.960 11 MPs tied to Beijing.

00:20:52.600 Carney's crew says nothing, selling us out foreign cash, secret deals.

00:21:01.140 Carney's Canada.

00:21:02.660 Would you let Jeffrey Epstein watch your kids?

00:21:06.940 Didn't think so.

00:21:08.920 What about his accomplice, Guy Lane Maxwell?

00:21:12.840 Hard pass.

00:21:14.940 So why trust him?

00:21:18.360 Mark Carney, Maxwell's friend.

00:21:21.060 He's not for us.

00:21:22.720 He's not for us.

00:21:28.600 On day one, Biden axes keystone.

00:21:33.440 $20 billion.

00:21:35.080 And Alberta jobs smoked.

00:21:38.220 Trudeau shrugged.

00:21:39.740 Who had his ear?

00:21:41.700 Mark Carney pushed the West under for Biden.

00:21:45.100 He's not for us.

00:21:46.640 He's not for us.

00:21:50.640 This is who Rod Loyola praised.

00:21:54.160 Fidel Castro.

00:21:55.900 A brutal communist dictator.

00:21:58.420 Now, Loyola's jumping ship from the radical NDP to run federally.

00:22:03.660 For Mark Carney's liberals.

00:22:06.780 Mark Carney, embracing hard-left radicals who celebrate anti-capitalist tyranny.

00:22:12.940 Which leads the critical mass to surpass the imbalance of the capitalists to the oppressed working class.

00:22:18.920 If this is Carney's team, imagine his Canada.

00:22:23.080 Well, what do you think?

00:22:25.100 If you're interested, go to 4Canada.ca.

00:22:28.120 I say again, that is a different corporate entity than Rebel News.

00:22:31.540 Rebel News is doing the journalism.

00:22:33.820 4Canada's having the fun.

00:22:35.780 Although I'm having some fun, too.

00:22:38.120 Well, that's our show for today.

00:22:40.540 Until next time.

00:22:41.900 On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.

00:22:44.620 Good night.

00:22:45.840 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:22:47.240 I'm here to vote for Pierre.

00:22:49.020 The only one that's going to change Canada.

00:22:50.780 It's going to be a blowout.

00:22:51.560 I have a hard time believing the polls.

00:22:53.240 People don't realize how historic this is right now.

00:22:55.840 I think the Glenn Maxwell photo is probably my favorite.

00:22:58.200 He's there with just Glenn Maxwell.

00:22:59.860 So he was in Hamilton tonight?

00:23:01.200 Yes.

00:23:01.940 60 people, eh?

00:23:02.780 Yes.

00:23:03.360 I think there was about 3,500 at least here tonight.

00:23:05.940 I think you know that a liberal is lying when he opens his mouth.

00:23:08.780 We have to be careful.

00:23:10.000 We cannot let the liberals distract us.

00:23:12.500 3,000, 4,000 people in there.

00:23:13.840 Really?

00:23:14.360 It's insane.

00:23:15.300 Your vote matters.

00:23:16.960 Your vote counts.

00:23:18.180 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Hamilton, Ontario.

00:23:24.940 And folks, I'm at another Pierre Polyev Canada First rally.

00:23:30.200 And my cameraman Efren and I, we have never seen anything like this.

00:23:35.460 As far as the eye can see in both directions, there are cars packed like sardines everywhere.

00:23:43.740 Some of these motors are going to have a little bad surprise.

00:23:48.400 There's bylaw enforcement handing out no stopping tickets.

00:23:52.060 That's an $80 hit.

00:23:53.780 But I'm sure some of the people getting those tickets will say it was worth it.

00:23:58.380 Now, we were late to this rally because at the exact same time, there was a Jagmeet Singh rally taking place on the other side of town.

00:24:07.400 And folks, I'm not exaggerating.

00:24:10.220 I estimate maybe 60 people, aside from the staff and the mainstream media that got to go on the bus.

00:24:19.200 We've already talked to some passersby.

00:24:22.340 Some are estimating the crowd here to be 5,000 people.

00:24:27.900 Can you imagine that?

00:24:28.900 So, standing room only, yet again, just like it was in North Toronto on Sunday when Pierre Polyev had a rally at the Pan Pacific Hotel.

00:24:40.880 We're seeing thousands and thousands of people coming out to Pierre Polyev rallies.

00:24:46.060 What does Mark Carney get?

00:24:48.380 Well, when we saw him at that bakery in Brantford, I think he had 45, 48 people.

00:24:54.000 So, when it comes to the validity of these polls, I'm taking that information with a shovelful of salt.

00:25:02.920 In any event, let's see what folks had to say who are exiting the Canada First Polyev rally right now.

00:25:11.260 Sir, why are you wearing such a shirt?

00:25:13.500 Well, I'm here to vote for Pierre.

00:25:15.300 The only one that's going to change Canada.

00:25:17.080 Driving up here and seeing all the cars and being in the traffic, this is great.

00:25:20.660 This is what we need.

00:25:21.640 Jagmeet Singh's rally.

00:25:23.220 It was happening at the same time.

00:25:25.340 I'm not making this up.

00:25:26.820 There was maybe 60 people there.

00:25:29.800 I take it more than 60 here tonight?

00:25:32.480 So, he was in Hamilton tonight?

00:25:34.000 Yes.

00:25:34.740 60 people, eh?

00:25:35.600 Yes.

00:25:36.160 I think there was about 3,500 at least here tonight.

00:25:38.760 Wow.

00:25:39.280 Probably could hear pin drops over there.

00:25:40.860 You can't hear yourself think here.

00:25:42.800 Only 60?

00:25:43.880 Yes.

00:25:45.200 Man.

00:25:46.520 It's sad.

00:25:47.380 Much more than 60 people.

00:25:48.680 I can attest to, you know, the NDP probably selling out Canada as to why, you know, there's probably 60 people in attendance.

00:25:55.400 But, great presence in there.

00:25:57.360 A lot of good energy and a lot of good folks, for sure.

00:26:00.200 Yeah, I'd say a few thousand people here.

00:26:02.100 A few thousand.

00:26:02.960 Yeah, definitely.

00:26:03.900 Definitely.

00:26:04.480 What do you make of our Jumbotron truck messaging tonight?

00:26:08.220 It's awesome.

00:26:08.580 I love it.

00:26:09.620 Okay.

00:26:10.400 Yeah.

00:26:10.620 Great place to park it to.

00:26:12.000 Thanks.

00:26:12.500 Right.

00:26:12.780 Thank you.

00:26:13.500 I think the Glenn Maxwell photo is probably my favorite.

00:26:16.360 You know, they're all buddies.

00:26:17.300 They're all hanging out with each other.

00:26:18.660 And that's probably the reason why this guy wanted an election so soon.

00:26:21.980 He's there with Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:26:23.640 She's in a NYC maximum security prison for violating children. 0.98

00:26:28.180 The truth.

00:26:29.000 It's the truth.

00:26:29.800 You can just read my shirt, right?

00:26:31.900 And that's my answer right there.

00:26:34.260 That guy's useless.

00:26:35.220 I think it needs to move around to a lot of places.

00:26:38.380 Yes.

00:26:38.780 Maybe we need to buy some new trucks.

00:26:41.240 That's a great idea.

00:26:42.160 Yes, okay then.

00:26:43.240 We'll help you out.

00:26:43.960 I love it.

00:26:45.340 I walked through the parking lot.

00:26:46.820 I said, Rebel News is here.

00:26:48.160 I was wondering if anybody was going to talk about the Ghislaine Maxwell and Mark Carney thing.

00:26:53.580 It's unbelievable that Main Street Meat has not covered it at all.

00:26:56.420 Do you know, I think you raise a great point.

00:26:58.900 If those photos were Pierre Polyev with Miss Maxwell, maybe on the front page?

00:27:05.000 All over everywhere.

00:27:05.980 Yeah.

00:27:06.340 Wouldn't stop hearing about it.

00:27:08.100 Why the double standard, man?

00:27:09.140 Well, it's because we're the right and they're the wrong.

00:27:13.800 He's not been honest for one second that he's actually been selected as a PM.

00:27:19.700 I don't care.

00:27:20.440 Can I get a picture with you?

00:27:21.200 Oh, absolutely.

00:27:21.600 Thank you for everything you do.

00:27:23.480 Thank you.

00:27:24.220 Me and my wife watch you all the time, man, at night.

00:27:26.180 Do you think the polls are indeed correct?

00:27:30.480 I don't.

00:27:31.300 I don't believe it at all.

00:27:32.480 They're going to think it's closer than it is.

00:27:34.200 It's going to be a blowout.

00:27:35.620 No, it was such a quick change.

00:27:38.160 It was too quick, almost.

00:27:39.780 And everybody we talked to, no one's voting liberal.

00:27:42.420 I think if you poll 100 liberals, they're going to say that the polls look like what you're

00:27:47.440 seeing now.

00:27:48.000 I don't think that's anywhere near representing reality.

00:27:50.740 Like, I don't believe a thing that comes out of that.

00:27:52.380 I have a hard time believing the polls.

00:27:54.080 So, yeah, we saw what happened in the states.

00:27:56.520 Yes.

00:27:56.780 The polls lied.

00:27:57.880 The same thing is coming up here.

00:27:59.380 So I don't believe the liberal media for one bit.

00:28:01.560 I think there's some money involved in there through government-funded media.

00:28:06.860 It's subjective.

00:28:08.520 The polls are subjective because the polls might consider so many things.

00:28:12.620 I've been to the states.

00:28:13.560 I've talked to people in the states.

00:28:14.900 And it's the same as up here.

00:28:16.640 You see one thing on the news and you hear a completely different story from the people

00:28:20.400 you talk to.

00:28:21.060 I don't believe them either.

00:28:22.240 No, David.

00:28:23.480 Actually, we don't believe anything we read on the news except for maybe rebel.

00:28:27.400 Thank you, man.

00:28:27.920 The real news.

00:28:28.660 Appreciate it.

00:28:29.320 Thanks, man.

00:28:29.940 Thank you.

00:28:30.680 Thank you.

00:28:31.220 Oh, absolutely.

00:28:32.780 Thank you, sir.

00:28:33.600 You've got the good work.

00:28:34.280 Thank you.

00:28:35.000 Thank you for everything you do.

00:28:36.580 You're modern-day Canadian heroes.

00:28:39.040 You and Ezra.

00:28:39.820 Well, I'm embarrassed to say I did watch some CBC today and all they did was push the

00:28:44.180 carny liberal narrative.

00:28:45.860 So I'm pretty certain that if they're only talking about carny liberals, that the polls

00:28:53.100 will also be only pushing that.

00:28:54.660 I think the media is definitely controlled and funded by the liberal party.

00:28:59.000 When the government is spending so much money on these media outlets, like yourself and

00:29:03.140 a few other small independents are the only ones that are actually telling you the truth.

00:29:06.080 Canada First is a grassroots movement that supports Pierre.

00:29:10.340 Okay, then.

00:29:11.040 Right?

00:29:11.680 Mark Carney, he's bureaucracy.

00:29:13.360 Bureaucracy.

00:29:14.920 The bureaucracy supports him.

00:29:16.640 Some in the left-wing media are saying the term Canada First, and I'm not making this

00:29:22.520 up, it's racist and code speak for white supremacy.

00:29:27.100 Are you a white supremacist?

00:29:29.980 I highly doubt that.

00:29:32.060 I highly doubt that.

00:29:33.560 But what I believe in is our freedom, our freedom to speak, our freedom to have and make

00:29:39.040 our own decisions and not be forced with garbage shoved down our throats.

00:29:44.400 You know, you don't look like a white supremacist to me, certified.

00:29:47.300 I don't think so.

00:29:49.460 What are they talking about?

00:29:51.040 Well, they're trying to, you know, they're trying to divide people more and more, right?

00:29:55.840 If you disagree with the narrative, their narratives, they label you as a racist.

00:30:00.640 They label you as right-wing extremist, right?

00:30:05.200 And they've been doing it ever since COVID.

00:30:06.700 He's like an economic forum, and he's net zero carny, and that's all he'll be.

00:30:11.580 You have a news scam every time you hear about more that people are digging into it.

00:30:16.100 Now he doesn't have any to participate in a French debate with Talia.

00:30:19.520 Well, his excuses are changing from day to day.

00:30:22.860 Mark Carney says he doesn't want to debate because there's a fee.

00:30:26.640 Well, I'll pay the fee.

00:30:28.340 I would participate in that crowdfund, even though Pierre's volunteer to pay for the whole thing himself.

00:30:33.480 How important is this election to you, ma'am?

00:30:36.740 The most important, like, people don't realize how historic this is right now.

00:30:40.900 My father came from Punjab.

00:30:42.680 We established businesses here.

00:30:43.940 We wanted to take home a check, achieve the Canadian dream, be contributing members of society.

00:30:49.540 Right?

00:30:50.120 And that's what Pierre's platform's about.

00:30:51.580 That's what the Conservatives are about.

00:30:53.100 Whereas the NDP, the Liberal, they're all about handouts.

00:30:56.360 If he doesn't win, that's my next choice.

00:31:00.320 Make Canada the 51st state.

00:31:03.300 If Paulieff loses, we're done.

00:31:05.080 We're done.

00:31:05.480 I want to use this opportunity to encourage Canadians to come out and vote.

00:31:10.700 Your vote matters.

00:31:12.680 Your vote counts.

00:31:14.320 And through your vote, you can determine your leader.

00:31:16.840 Thank you.

00:31:17.400 Thanks so much.

00:31:18.120 Love your work.

00:31:18.720 You go to these Hamas rallies, right?

00:31:21.340 And you just ask questions.

00:31:22.540 You walk around with your camera crew and everything.

00:31:24.320 And that's awesome.

00:31:25.280 Yes.

00:31:25.520 And the violence and the vitriol and the hatred towards somebody that's just asking questions.

00:31:32.140 I know.

00:31:32.360 Hey, folks.

00:31:34.800 I know you love it when Rebel News tells you the other side of the story.

00:31:37.860 But the fact is we need your help.

00:31:40.520 Unlike the mainstream media, we're not taking checks from Mark Carney.

00:31:45.100 Please go to campaign2025.com.

00:31:50.200 That's campaign2025.com.
